The Australian National Dictionary (AND) is a dictionary of Australianisms. It includes words and meanings that have originated in Australia, that have a greater currency within Australia than elsewhere, or that have a special significance in Australian history. The first edition of the dictionary, published in 1988, contained about 10,000 headwords, compounds, idioms, and derivatives, the second edition published in 2016 contains over 16,000, and the third online edition will contain some 17,000. The AND differs from general dictionaries in being based on historical principles, in the manner of the comprehensive Oxford English Dictionary (OED). The aim of AND is to chart the historical development of Australian words the definitions begin with the oldest sense and move through to the most recent sense. As part of this history, it includes all obsolete words and all obsolete senses; because it is concerned with the complete history of a word, the historical dictionary places more emphasis on the etymology of a word than does the general dictionary. The dictionary contains some 127,000 quotations from books, newspapers, manuscripts, songs, social media posts, and websites to illustrate the entries.

A new edition will be published online and be freely available to the public in the coming year.

The second edition was edited by Bruce Moore and published by Oxford University Press in 2016.

The first edition was edited by W.S. (Bill) Ramson and published by Oxford University Press in 1988.
